Architecture
The following figure shows a typical architecture of information flow in an IPFIX architecture:
Metering, Exporter IPFIX Collector O--------------------------->O | | Observation Point v ---- IP Traffic --->A Metering Process collects data packets at an Observation Point, optionally filters them and aggregates information about these packets. Using the IPFIX protocol, an Exporter then sends this information to a Collector. Exporters and Collectors are in a many-to-many relationship: One Exporter can send data to many Collectors and one Collector can receive data from many Exporters.
